[SOLVED] Rotate one object around another by pressing a key

Hi, I need to create similar functionality to this game: http://www.kanyezone.com/ where I can rotate an object around another by pressing a key. The issue of rotating one object around another has been solved on the forum before (viewtopic.php?t=63895&start=0) but I cannot find a solution to allowing user movement of the object like in the game I posted. My problem arises from what angle to use in order to to make it work.

If you want a game in which the axis of rotation never changes, as in the example you sent, it might be easier if you just give the Origin Image Point an offset, like in this working example I made:

Use left and right arrows to move.

Not sure if this solves your problem, though...

I always knew the solution would be simple, you're a genius sir thanks!

You're welcome.

By the way, I put together a tutorial teaching how to do this "the proper way"...
